Question

A solution contains 0.01mol L1 of each Pb2+ and Zn2+ ions. The solution is saturated with H2S when [S2] is 1.0×1014molL1. Predict which one of the two ions will be precipitated from the solution?
(Ksp: PbS=2.4×1027 and Ksp: ZnS=1.0×1021)

Solution

PbSPb2++S2 ZnSZn2++S2
Now, [Pb2+][Zn2+]=0.01molL1
[S2]=1.0×1014molL1
Now, [Pb2+][S2]=0.01×1×1014=1×1016
Now, [Pb2+][S2]>Ksp(PbS)
PbS will be precipitated.
Again, [Zn2+][S2]>Ksp(ZnS)
ZnS will also be precipitated.
